I've always been of the mindset that trophy photos should be staged to afford the the greatest dignity to the game. Try to make them look like they're asleep.

Putting in a stick to prop open the bear's mouth and photos with the grass and twigs coming out of a pig's mouth is poor photography IMO.

I usualy try and clean the blood off the wound fix the eyes and tongue if it is hanging out. But sometimes you know you have a long walk ahead of you or a lot of skinning to do. And just take a couple of quick pics.

Finally got my second pig and first ever with a rifle. Weighed about 175lbs.
I spotted it at over 700 yards walking across a ridge and stalked to within 23 yards and found it asleep. It was kind of weird as it looked like a rock out of place and I could see the ears, closed eyes and nose with the Leica range finder but when I threw the scope on it I really couldn't tell. I kept the scope on him for about 10 minutes waiting for my hunting friend who kept going up the hill (he didn't see it). In anycase, he came across a nice boar weighing about 350lbs and took his shot at 35 yards. When he shot, mine jumped up and began to run and I shot him at 20 yards. Couldn't tell if I hit him or not as there was no indication or blood so I ran up the hill to see if could get another shot. By the time I saw him he was already rolling. Still went 100 yards or so.

Congrats on your piggie. Ive had friends that have literally walked right up on them while they were sleeping. Pretty crazy. Where were you guys hunting at?

Yes Sir! My blood starts pump'n seeing pictures like that. A few years back, fishing on the Tracer, myself and 4 others caught 146 albies on one single drift. Not that I am counting, but 44 days until I leave on another 17 dayer.

some ole lady ended up with the piglet. That little bastard kept me up every night for a week! It slept through all of the jobsite noise all day. Would wake up every once in a while and start screaming until it found me on the other side of the job. It would scold me for a minute then plop down and fall back to sleep.

On April 7, I went hunting with my friend John {maschronic} Here are the pigs we shot. We hiked for about a mile on top of the mountains and decided
to glass the area. We sat on the ridge. About 15 minutes later 5 Boars came out. I shot the pig downhill with my Remington VTR bolt action 308 caliber at 180 yards. It was a lung shot, I than followed up another shot which was a head shot and he died. My friend John shot his pig at about 160 yards. My pig weighed in at 250 lbs & John's weighed in at 200lbs.
